The word child covers a lot of ground :) I read a lot of Goosebumps and wanted to read scary books as a late elementary/ middle schooler. As a teen, I didn't stray too far, I really loved thrillers, bonus points if someone got kidnapped! As an adult I like to think of myself as a very well rounded reader, romantic thrillers are my favorite genre. Guess I'm a creature of habit at the end of the day.
I was in college when Goosebumps came out, but I can see their appeal. I love that they laid the foundation for a lifetime love of thrillers. I remember reading a lot of Encyclopedia Brown, Nancy Drew, and Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid in addition to all the classics of the time. I found all those teen romances in my teens and pretty much still adore romance.
ReplyDeleteI love romance too! Sometimes I get too caught up if they spend too much time miscommunicating. I've taken to angrily writing notes in my digital copies but I can't stay away!
